The upper right turquoise stone was replaced by Cartier in service completed in 2007.

This watch is accompanied with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the original case is made up of 9 diamonds totaling approximately 0.27 ct., 11 rubies totaling approximately 1.40 ct., and 16 turquoise navettes.

It is also interesting to highlight that the movement is confirmed on the Certificate of Authenticity and was commissioned by Cartier from Audemars Piguet. This association between two of the most notable brands within the industry is one of the many reasons this stunning watch is highly collectible.

Somewhat distinctive, Cartier New York has provided on their letterhead two Valuation Reports where they state that the watch "cannot be reproduced."
